Our experience with ScotBlinds was mixed. The ordering process was very pleasant as David and team were very responsive. However, the quality of the shades delivered was much lower than what we were promised. The biggest issue was a shade that is a focal point to the house. It was either mismeasured or constructed incorrectly. The shade is noticeably off center with one side extending 3 inches passed the opening as compared to the other side. Also, the construction of the shade is a lower quality than what was conveyed to us. David explained that it would be a single box valance like the other shades in our house.
When delivered the valance was constructed of multiple pieces that were connected by brackets leading to a flimsy design and a break in the middle. The existing shades used as a comparison are a solid wood box valance that is a single unit with no joints or breaks. We were very disappointed with the follow up from ScotBlinds on these issues. We received a thank you note asking us to leave a yelp review if we felt we could provide positive review but the multiple attempts we made to contact ScotBlinds to address these issues remain unanswered.

David was great and provided plenty of options for different budgets. Did not pressure us to buy after his consultation, instead was honest and let us know he was ready when we were. His install team did great and even came back out after a chain broke on one of the blinds. Always responsive and ensured we had a 5 star experience.

This review is a little late in coming, but I just remembered to review as I just redeemed the Starbucks gift card ScotBlinds sent me as a thank-you for being their customer. I went to the Home Show in San Diego at the Convention Center in January 2020 (pre-Covid times, when they had such shows). I was literally MOBBED by nearly every single vendor there - it was definitely a running-the-gauntlet experience and was not pleasant.
The only vendor who was not overly aggressive was David at ScotBlinds. I was able to approach his booth on my own and when I did he was friendly and knowledgeable but not in-your-face. He had a variety of different window treatments on display and I got to experiment with how they handle. Then and there, I made an appointment with him to come out to the house for window treatments, as we had just gotten new windows. David helped our family to select the right type of treatment for each window - we went with pleated shades for most, some with the top-down-bottom-up option, some with magnetic clip and some with drawcord (depending on if there's furniture in front of the window), and a couple of the new-style combination roller blinds (these are great!). David also has window shutters and vertical blinds available, as well as Roman shades.
Very happy with our choices, and Jerry the installer was very knowledgeable and efficient too. And lastly, we got a personal thank-you note from Jamaica thanking us for our patronage, and I just enjoyed my Starbucks latte! Thanks, ScotBlinds! P.S. Recommend a daytime appointment. A little hard to decide on the literally hundreds of subtle shades of pleated shade available, and natural light would have been easier. (Still, made great choices with David's help!)

David came out on time and efficiently and professionally went through and gave us a thorough bid. First we addressed how hot our east county home gets, especially the West facing rooms. David recommended the perfect tinting for our situation. The crew that came out was professional, efficient and did a great job. After that was complete the blinds were installed.
After 25 years with Target curtains (no offense Target, we still love you) that I had hung myself it was wonderful to have professionally installed beautiful window coverings! The crew that came out to install the window coverings was also professional and efficient. My wife and I couldn't be more happy with the results. We have lived with the tinting and window coverings for the last few months now and the difference in the temperature in the home is remarkable.
This timeframe includes July-Aug.-Sept (2020) that had some back to back high 90s up to 108 degree days. We are so glad to have made this move when we did! I would definitely recommend ScotBlinds to anyone who wants a great selection of beautiful, quality products installed by a clean, courteous and efficient crew.

ScotBlinds is Awesome! They were referred to me by a friend who had them do her custom blinds and im really happy i decided to go with them. David (ScottBlinds) and Jerry (his installer) are both really good people who provide excellent service. We had a bit of a hassle with our order due to Covid shutting down the factory where my blinds were getting made but David was in constant communication with me.
When my order came in separate shipments David made sure i was in the loop and when i could expect it. Jerry had to come out 3 times because things didn't come in on time, but rather than leave me without window covering he made 3 trips to get it done. None of the delays were their fault but they kept me in the loop which as a customer its all i care about. The consistent communication and the commitment to making sure i was satisfied in the end makes it easy to recommend this company.

I met with other businesses and by far Scotblinds was the best in all areas. They listened to what our needs were and provided the ultimate in customer service, range of products available and in price range. Very honest and personable. We are very happy with our shutters and shades and will definitely call them again for any future needs. Thank you Scotblinds! You're the best!

We recently had blinds installed in our entire house by Scotblinds. We were very happy with the whole team, including David who came to our home to help us select blinds, Jamaica in the office, and the two gentlemen who came to install everything. David truly seemed to care about helping us blinds that would meet our needs and fit our budget. It was clear he has a lot of experience and was able to help us when we struggled to pick just the right colors/styles.
The installers were quick and efficient and communicated well on when they would be coming. They made sure we were happy with the blinds before we left and gave suggestions for ensuring the blinds would continue to look good over time. We are very happy with our new blinds and highly recommend the Scotblinds team!

I am very pleased with David at Scotblinds! I had all the blinds in my home replaced. After listening to what I envisioned he showed me a variety of styles, textures and colors I might be interested in. David was professional and patient answering any questions I had. Unlike the two previous companies I looked into, he was never pushy or impatient. His installer was terrific as well. I highly recommend Scotblinds!

Great customer service and excellent quality for customized blinds at a very reasonable price. The house visit that Alan paid to us to take measurements was delightful. He brought us a whole collection of samples to choose from, helped us made selections, and even offered us a sizable discount due to a promotion the company was having. The blinds installation was done four weeks later, and it was carried out in a very efficient and painless manner.
The installers were very polite and professional. When had initially intended to replace two blinds but when we called to set up an appointment we were informed that the company has a minimum order of three. In addition to replacing the old blinds in the living room and in the garage we decided to install vertical blinds in our kitchen. I am glad that we did because we are now greatly enjoying a greater sense of privacy at night. We are staying with Scot Blinds. We plan to call them again to replace blinds in the rest of the house. Scot Blinds has earned our complete trust.

Wished we could've had a 5 star experience. We ordered blinds, shades and a panel track for our entire house back in March. Due to multiple problems due to sizing, color and function they are just now finally resolved almost 7 months later. We had Hunter Douglas blinds in our last house and we contacted Scot Blinds because they said they carried them.
During the appointment, samples of different blinds were shown. Scot convinced me the blinds he brought were good quality since they were made here in the US. I believed him and I wished I would've gone with what I initially wanted and the quality I knew. The blinds we have aren't bad but the cord knobs are super cheap looking. The sample doesn't show the cord knobs and was surprised that they weren't even wood.
Also there's an extra slab that lays right on top of the bottom rail of each window. I don't know if this is common but thought it was weird for custom blinds. Alan told my husband it was there just in case one slab needed to be repaired. I figured if something needed to be repaired, new blinds would be ordered. Our track panel for our sliding door had to be ordered at least 3 times.
Initially the panels had cupping issues and came with a long rod which had to be changed to a pull cord. The rod wasn't functional for my father to use and I felt it was a safety hazard for a child. When I closed the panels a piece of the plastic broke of the track when it had the rod. The second time it was ordered it still came with rod. The third time it came with the correct pull cord but the valance and panels were a different color.
The valance then had to be ordered in the correct color. The installer said it was a new brand they were using so I'm not sure about the quality. I'm hoping it lasts. Hopefully if we ever have issues with our blinds in the future, we won't have the same experience.

I have now used this business in two homes. Both experiences have been nothing short of stellar. Alan is knowledgeable, courteous, and reliable. Their pricing is very competitive and the final product is exactly as I expected. I will never use another company when it comes to window coverings in my home. I have confidently recommended this business to family and friends because I know they will not be disappointed!

I called a few top rated blind companies on yelp to put blinds on two recently purchased homes. I got bad vibes from the other companies for one reason or another. No callbacks, no one in office answering phones during business hours, ect. Unfortunately I assume the worst and figure if the simple things can't be handled, who knows what's in store.
I called Scotblinds and it went smoothly throughout the entire process. Alan arrived at my home on time for the quote and was polite and friendly. He presented me with the quotes and even though I had my poker face on. I was floored at how low the quote was (I was expecting the top rated company on Yelp would come with a heavy premium). I handed my credit card to Alan on the spot and gave him the go ahead. A few weeks later the blinds were installed and they are immaculate. Absolute perfection. I just don't see why someone would go with any other company for their blinds.

I will never go back to the plastic slatted blinds ever again! What a world of difference our purchase had made to designing our home! LOVED the whole experience! Thank you Alan & Lilian! I will recommend Scotblinds to everyone!

We chose Scotblinds because of the great reviews. Had just purchased a brand new house and needed blinds for 39 windows. Alan came over, did his spiel, and we chose Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds. The price tag was $31,000.00, very expensive, but we were assured that the end result would be worth it, Hunter Douglas being the industry top choice.
We did receive our blinds in a timely fashion (the only positive), however, that's also when all the trouble started. The blinds were incorrectly installed/measured, so there were gaps both on the top and sides of the blinds. The gap above of the blinds was fixed after a couple of weeks. They also remeasured the blinds and tried fixing some of them.
The end result - 15 out of 39 blinds are still not completely covering our windows. Scotblinds claims there's nothing they can do. Here's a photo for you - if the blind on the right is the look you want, Scotblinds is your choice - gaps and all.
